Red Bull has launched a new flavor to celebrate summer and it’s shaking up its packaging with a pink can.
Energy drink fans in the UK can get their hands on Red Bull Pink Edition Forest Fruits, an infusion of forest fruits such as raspberry and herbal notes of verbena.
Red Bull Pink Edition offers customers a totally different taste and is sugar-free.
The berry colored can will launch on May 20, just in time for the bank holiday weekend and will set you back £1.55 for 250ml.
Described by Red Bull “as a refreshing and invigorating explosion of flavour”, the limited edition Red Bull Pink Edition will only be available at Tesco for now.

However, it will be implemented nationwide from July 2024 in several supermarkets.
Red Bull claims the Pink Edition is best served chilled, straight from the can, for a refreshing touch, or with ice.
For those looking to impress friends at outdoor dinner parties this summer, hosts can curate a full menu of fruit-infused mocktails using the Pink Edition.
For the perfect sweet and sour combination, Pink Paloma combines non-alcoholic tequila, Red Bull Pink Edition and Grapefruit, finished with a pinch of salt.
The Spring Fizz, a mix of non-alcoholic gin, soda and Red Bull Pink Edition, is a refreshing summer drink; and the Pink Fruit Punch is ideal for those with a sweet tooth, as it combines non-alcoholic rum, apple juice and Red Bull Pink Edition.
It comes after scientists revealed that giving mice taurine, an ingredient added to energy drinks such as Red Bull, helped them live three to four months longer.

Academics at Columbia University also claimed that taurine slowed the aging process, helping rodents avoid age-related problems such as weakened bones and loss of muscle mass.
Other experiments, this time on humans, revealed that people with more taurine in their bodies tend to be healthier.
The study offers no evidence that taurine improves human life expectancy. But sharing their results in the prestigious journal Science, the team said they believe it has “potential.”
